Concurrent programming is becoming increasingly important as systems are scaling up by increasing the number of processors rather than the speed of a single processor. However, concurrent programming can be very difficult and error-prone.

DNA is life’s instruction manual, but mathematically, DNA is simply a string over an alphabet of four letters. DNA can now easily be read into a computer, and the associated string-processing algorithms are being leveraged by biologists for exciting discoveries. However, this has created a flood of data in the petabytes, requiring modern and faster tools.
